If I'd known, I'd have put my pants on
We had a lot of love for John Nicholson after his final column for F365. We thought he deserved his own Mailbox. Enjoy @JohnnyTheNic

'This will be my last column for F365 of over 3000 since November 2000.'
And so it ends. @JohnnyTheNic we love you. Go and have a rest and enjoy all the football that's not the Premier League...

Net spends of £200m are not unusual. It’s bonkers. Imagine spending that sort of money on what is essentially a gamble. @JohnnyTheNic says that Chelsea are the worst of a very bad bunch.

At this time of the year, Boro's pitch has always been green and magnificent, which leads me to the comment heard on the Holgate in 1972.
'Dad, how come the pitch is so green?'
'Because there's been so much shit on it, son

@JohnnyTheNic has an uncanny ability to cut through the nonsense around TV broadcasting, and some great ideas too.
Anyone in TV want to use them?
More of the same, even though they can no longer sell advertising around it? Why not give up the old-fashioned model for an ad-free alternative?

Who can resist a Tonto's Expanding Headband t-shirt? They're the root of the technological developments of much music today. No guitar solos.

Sky Sports’ only idea seems to be to throw more live football into the pot, but they can’t fill the advertising breaks they have, writes @JohnnyTheNic

For all the talk of studios, pundits etc, the BBC maintains almost exactly the same lead over ITV for the World Cup final.
It had more than three times the ITV average audience.
2026:
BBC: 9.7m
ITV: 2.4m
2022:
BBC: 9.2m
ITV: 2.8m

When you’re paid precisely to be bold and creative under stress in the big moments and you can’t, why are you here, Thomas Tuchel? @JohnnyTheNic would sack the England coach now.

France proving that a 'winning mentality' is one of the great lies of football. It obviously doesn't exist, despite them being constantly described as having one because if it did, they'd have won.

Anybody claiming to know exactly how this World Cup will pan out is a fool. Including you. And us. @JohnnyTheNic is predicting nothing but the unpredictable.
